How many musicians fit on a stage? It is amazing to see, in small venues with the invitation to get on stage, the answer to the question. (It depends on how big the sound gets.)I love the color wash of this work, it evokes the waves, man.

Jazz, I think, can only be truly appreciated live. That is the only time that one can feel the fire, the combustion of connection that happens when the music is created like the first music that was ever created. And that, like the love of porridge, never grows old.

The band was from New York. Musicians are also glamorized. It must be quite the acting to sing a song for the thousandth time and make it sound like the first. Maybe not! Come to think of it, I can eat porridge with that same alacrity!

The Jazz Series... the research for this series is to go to live music venues, stay up until it is too early, alter reality with beverages (water with lemon) and laugh about pretty much anything. Research and study...strange,hmm? I don't find it that dull.

I did this little encaustic for my good friend before actually meeting a Bengal cat. Now, as I have a Bengal cat roommate, I see it show their fantastic playfulness and intelligence. And his fur is absolutely amazing.

MY Cat never... bothers the bird. The wonderful thing, one of many, about cats is the reaction to flittering. I don't actually have a bird in a cage. It would seem to me to be an inevitable tragedy.The sky is blue.

From the MY cat never... series. Sam the Siamese...which get many bad reviews, Siamese cats I am talking about here. They are noisy but very loving, cuddling lappy type cats. I am looking forward to getting one soon!
